Nat Sciver would be expected to play a huge role in this Mumbai side after being consistent for England in all formats of the game. Along with Kaur, Sciver would handle the middle order with maturity.
With her free-flowing batting and economical offies, Gardner is expected to play a huge role for the Giants. Having bowled well in the Women’s World Cup, Gardner will be high on confidence which could result in match-winning performances from her.
Beth Mooney would have to do the bulk of the scoring for Delhi, with the batting lineup not looking that strong. The Aussie duo of Mooney and Gardner would be expected to carry the line-up and score big.
Chloe rarely bowls her entire spell but is always amongst the wickets. She also chips in with some runs in the death with the bat. Tryon would be effective on the wicket of DY Patil with her left-arm spin.
Kaur would have to take charge of the Mumbai Indians’ middle order. If the pitch offers something for the slow bowlers, Kaur can roll her arm over and create an impact. With Kaur coming off good form from the World Cup semi-final, expect her to score big.
